Let’s say you’re a single male making 50k you’re taking home ~3000 after taxes. 10% contribution to 401k

300 on 401k
1200 for rent
150 for utilities (water/electricity)
200 on health insurance
200 on student loans
350 on food
50 on car insurance
60 for gas
60 on internet
30 on phone
200 on misc (haircuts, gym memberships, random purchases on essentials)

That leaves you with 200 dollars left over, and that’s without a car payment or even having things like friends. Not to mention random emergency payments.

How is this fair? How do you invest or build up an emergency fund in modern society?

Why the hell do you have student loans when you're making $50k? You need to cut out the majority of this shit. You should be spending the least amount humanly possible. Insurance is a luxury. If you get badly injured, it should be game over at that point anyway. Drive? Bike everywhere if possible and learn to walk more. I make half of what you make and I spend nearly $0 aside from rent, food, and utilities (internet, cheap phone included). I even live with 2 other wagies so we can split a 2 bedroom crack den 3 ways and have as much money as possible to invest and save. Our rent is $700 total, NOT split and we live in a big city where okay apartments are double this cost or more. 3 wagies banded together to live smartly because we're not complete morons like (You).

>> No.27780486

get a roommate..

you're spending $1400 on something that should be $1000 or less.

Stop your health insurance unless you have conditions, you can get it again in your late 30's.

Fuck the student loans unless you're trying to get a house or new car loan in the next few years, when the time does come you just setup a payment plan and get your credit back on track over 4-5 years.

Stop following the rules and strap down, live hard now and save money.

Get a side hustle, even a few hundred a month doing eBay or hobby jobs can go into investing.

Get less haircuts or change your hairstyle so you can do them less, find a cheaper barber, get a cheaper gym, reconsider what is "essential".

I'll show you how to save money retard.

You can cut food costs in half. No fast food, no drinks with friends, no eating out. Rice, chicken breast, beans.

now you have 375.

you don't need a phone, that's 400.
your misc is bullshit. Spend $20 on a buzzer and cut your own hair for free for the next 10 years. Your "essentials" aren't essentials or they would already be listed. That's $600.

Congrats, you already are saving more than when I started out. Let's keep going.

Don't use a 401k. It's a scam for retards who can't handle their money. Take that $300 and invest it yourself.
That's $900.
>1200 for rent
Get roommates, or move somewhere cheaper. You're broke, you shouldn't spend more than 600 a month MAX in rent.
That's $1200. Do you stop now? NOPE.


You save that $1200 a month for 2 months, you sell your current car, and you get a piece of junk for 2k MAX. You'll save a ton on insurance, no payments.

You need dave ramsay, not grant cardone or whatever. Stop wasting money and start investing retard. Just because everyone else is a retarded consoomer doesn't mean you have to be.

Yeah being able to purchase a house, land, and a car on a single “middle class”income stream sounds terrible, what would I do if I weren’t lectured on intersectional gay tranny nigger pee pee poo poo theory 24/7 on corporate funded propagated virtual dopamine farms?
Regardless, I think you should take your grandfather or some other old guy more seriously when they say that they literally don’t recognize what America has become. The 50’s & 60’s were the beginning of civilizational decline, but it was still an era of unrivaled prosperity that the world hasn’t seen since. Let alone the fact that it was a higher trust, more racially homogeneous, and more Christian with actual backbone, I would 100% take that over our “high information” era where Reddit-tier pop scientists get corporate sponsorships to constantly remind you that life has no meaning and that you’re just “stardust”. Let alone the fact that everybody is an “expert” at everything now in the most oxymoronic sense, very few are actually proficient masters at one valuable trade/skill. It’s this resumé-mentality that so many need to have in order to survive and get an entry-level position as a professional asskisser for your tranny boss at your menial corporate cubicle skinner box called a job in current times.
Regardless, life wasn’t perfect back then, but life is a psyop’d neoliberal-corporatist, late-capitalist, hollowed shell of a once great nation ran by pedophilic sociopaths who use CIA operations to gaslight your eroding psyche into wanting to drive Ryder trucks into federal buildings currently.

Yeah I'll pass on the leaded gasoline, lynch mobs, and draft letters, anon. I see the point you're trying to make but the 50s and 60s were by no means a utopia. Go look up the Youtuber David Hoffman, he did interviews with boomers about their parents. So much of what you take for granted culturally - freedom of speech, outward expression, the ability to "do your own thing" - really only came about because of the cultural rebellion instigated by the boomers in the 60s and 70s. This renewed individualism has been a disaster for the country materially, but we've also enjoyed the benefits of growing up during an era of unprecedented freedom of speech and thought. As Millennials take charge things will begin to revert back to the collectivism and pervasive censorship of the Greatest Generation, which might help the country survive, but you're also going to be looking back wistfully on the crazy days of the 90s-2010s, when you could actually express an opinion that deviated from orthodoxy.

This list makes no sense. How are you only spending 60 on gas and 200 on haircuts and gym.

Dont get a gym membership, its a waste of money, dont pay for haircuts just buy electric razor and do it yoursef. 350 on food is roughly 12 dollars on food every day which means you're eating too much or spending too much, 200 is more reasonable. 50$ on car insurance, seriously where the fuck do you live to have these weird fucking prices?

I am 25, pay 750$ to rent a room, spend 200$ on food, insurance is 100$, 100$ on gas, 60$ phone bill, dont have student loans, so I pay roughly 1300 in bills and I make 2000$ a month so I'm left with about 600-700 a month. Just make better financial decisions, the alternative to society is living in the wild, and hunting your own food, and drinking from rivers.

The second we switched to fiat was the second we were screwed.

Here's a little tip if youre from the US. The country known as the USA hasn't existed since the 1870s. We've been a united corporation owned by City of London Bank - which is owned by Jews. To speed up their takeover they hid over on boats to the US, the started a market crash where they then lobbied that the only way to save America was to give it another central bank. Since then we've been working on a system that demands you be in debt. It's a death system, It's going to spiral and theres nothing we can do about it.

Think about it:
>Fiat dollar propped by debt
>Government then demands to take your money for retirement for "your own safety, goy"
>We're fucking stock. And we're too stupid to realize.

This leaves you with $0 until your loan is paid off, otherwise you have $1000 left over a month if living at home. Spend one year paying off your loan, one year saving up money. Then move out, you can be back out in the world at around 24 if you graduated at 21/22. Now you're 24, you have no debt and $50k in your bank account to invest, NOW is when you can move out and start living

Clippers have guards that come in different sizes, varying from 1/16th of an inch all the way to 2 inches, so just cut the top of your head one size and then cut the sides and the back another size, in the 7 years ive owned the clippers ive given myself different haircuts, sometimes gentlemens haircut with a fade, sometimes I just trim my hair and leave the back and sides a little longer, but as ive grown into a man, i stopped giving a shit and just buzz it off. But if you want a nice haircut just look up a youtube video.
